Former AeroMexico DC-9 parked inside a childeren playground north of the town. Google Earth shows the airplane there until at least 2019 still in full AeroMexico colours. But now in already fading bright decorations, and in large capital letters the name of the town on the fuselage. Compliments to still have the full registration visible !

This Mi-8 was built in August 1976 and served with the NVA as 124 and then, after German re-unification, with the German AF as 9361. From May 1995 it was on display at the Deutsch-Deutsches Museum in Mödlareuth but moved to this site sometime before June 2012.

Pictured parked on the ramp at EDQM.

Pictured on the ramp at LKKV waiting for passengers to board. A few minutes later the plane would be buttoned up, taxy out to rw29 and depart for Riga (RIX).

This historic home-built aircraft had only arrived in Mödlareuth, on permanant loan from the Oberschleißheim museum, a couple of days earlier. It had been constructed in secret by the engineer Dr. Gerhard Wagner so that he and his family could attempt to fly/flee from Nonnewitz across the inner-German border towards Hof. However, the Ministry for State Security (Stasi) had him under surveillance and the Wagner family was arrested in Dresden in July 1981 and imprisoned. The Stasi stored the plane in the evidence chamber of the Stasi HQ in East Berlin until re-unification in 1989.

After delivery this Alouette II was 7759 with the Heeresflieger (German Army Aviation Corps) from 1970 to 1981, but then registered D-HBJI with the Bundesgrenzschutz (Federal Border Guard) and flew patrols along the former border between West and East Germany. In 2003 the helicopter was decommissioned and is now on display. The German village of Mödlareuth today straddles the border between Thuringia and Bavaria. It is (in)famous because it was bisected completely by the East and West German border. A section of the wall is preserved through the village and forms the centrepiece of this museum

This 320 has been leased to SmartLynx since May 2022 and had arrived from Stockholm (ARN) earlier that day.

This 320 was originally delivered to Starflyer as JA23MC in January 2014. The plane was returned by SmartLynx to the lessor in February 2023 and so the plane is possibly being prepared at LKKV for its next lease period with IndiGo.
